Vibration analysis of Nano-Rotor's Blade applying Eringen nonlocal elasticity and generalized differential quadrature method

Abstract

This study investigates the small scale effect on the flapwise bending vibrations of a rotating nanoplate. The nanoplate is modeled with a classical plate theory and considering cantilever and propped cantilever boundary conditions. Due to the rotation, the axial forces are included in the model as true spatial variation. Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing equation and boundary conditions of the classical plate theory based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The generalized differential quadrature method is employed to solve the governing equation. The effect of small-scale parameter, non-dimensional angular velocity, non-dimensional hub radius, aspect ratio, and different boundary conditions in the first four non-dimensional frequencies is discussed. Due to considering rotating effects, results of this study are applicable in nano-machines such as nano-motors and nano-turbines and other nanostructures.
